Dead men tell no Epstein-Trump tales
When witnesses, whistleblowers and accusers die, it’s time to look at whether they have anything in common. Here is a list of some of the recent deaths.

oh my god he admit it!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had not seen the Onion headline.

We are talking in the back of a black SUV, parked in front of his offseason home in the Toronto suburbs, when I mention the bit of satire that went viral during the Western Conference Finals in May. I hand him my phone and he laughs.

“Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Trying to Draw Foul While Shooting Free Throw,” reads the headline, which is accompanied by an image of him flailing on the foul line. “Trying to draw a foul at the free-throw line,” he says, “that would be good.”

anyway, the American id understander himself, Hunter S. Thompson, the next week for goddamn ESPN of all places. the party's over, folks.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."

Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.

That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. The time has come for loyal Americans to Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. That is the new buzz-word in Washington. But what it means is not entirely clear.

I can theoretically see how they came to many of the conclusions I came to and wrote tens of thousands of words about months ago in this piece on their own, but it's a little surprising to see the Times write something so similar to a piece I wrote two weeks ago www.wheresyoured.at/the-openai-b...
Oracle’s annual report in June trumpeted the success of its move into A.I. and assured investors that its cloud business was still growing and that its strong cash flow would be sufficient to cover its obligations. But the report also nodded to the precariousness of its situation. The company noted that it could not guarantee that it would be able to manage its outstanding debt, which had now grown to $130 billion. It warned that its customers might not be able to pay for its services and said the regulatory environment might change, which could jeopardize its business with China.

In July, S&P Global Ratings downgraded Oracle’s credit rating. Its debt was now just one notch above junk level. If it is downgraded once more, Oracle will become what’s known on Wall Street as a “fallen angel,” which would drive up its borrowing costs even further while shrinking its pool of potential lenders.

As a result of that, S&P Global downgraded Oracle’s credit rating to BBB/A-2, the literal lowest level before it’ll become junk-grade, meaning that one more downgrade (though it would have to be from two ratings agencies) from here would risk Oracle becoming a “fallen angel,” with investment funds (that can’t hold junk grade debt) having to jettison its debt from indexes, as happened to Ford in March 2020, leading to over $35 billion in debt being dumped and its borrowing costs skyrocketing to between 8.5% and 9.625% when it raised in April 2020. For some context, Ford reported an average interest rate of 5.2% on its long term debt in its 2019 annual report.

Garfield can make me smile when I am reading about that darned, fat cat. Always hungry, and with his mischievous attitude, Garfield always finds himself getting into trouble in one way or the other.
This lasagna-eating cat loves to pick on Odie, the dog, and Jon, his human. Is Jon really Garfield's owner? Well, Jon may think so, but I'll bet Garfield has his own ideas about that one.* **

this is the kind of wholesome content i needed to see today
It's also clear, however, that Furnari, despite no one having commissioned him to make the statue, was hoping to make money. He said he had expected unnamed wealthy figures to donate to him - he spent $100,000 on steel, resin and labor - but that has not come to pass.
In desperation, Furnari set up an online fundraising campaign, hoping to raise an initial $150,000, but potentially millions of dollars, which he said would allow him to take the statue on tour.
As of Thursday, he had raised $1,400.
"I was thinking that it was going to resonate with the world, with whoever, but man, people are strange out there," he said. "Meaning like, nobody is really coming up with support, especially financial support. So far I've spent all my money on this."“Things financially are a total, absolute nightmare. It’s like wow. People are cheap, man. You know, people talk, talk — I know lots of people out there, and everybody’s so cheap. You know, like, it’s disgusting how cheap they are.”

Furnari’s latest plan is to place the statue in Times Square on 10 September — the anniversary of Kirk’s death. He hopes that will drum up interest, and maybe allow him to recoup some of his costs. 

Until then, Furnari is left with a 6ft 4in statue of a renowned racist, which he has spent $100,000 making, and which no one wants to buy. Maybe it is cursed after all.
